FLIBS -- the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show

noreply@blogger.com (Regency Yacht Vacations) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 12:40:00 +0000

The end of October is time again for the very large and amazing Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show. This three mile stretch of assembled dock on the intercoastal waterway allows buyers to view new and brokerage yachts for sale -- big ones, little ones & everything in between! Whether you want a run about for your lake, or an ocean going power yacht there are sailing and power yachts on view.

Regency has joined with Northrop & Johnson and will have a barge on the dock. The larger brokerage yachts require appointments to be viewed, and there will be a number of charter yachts that may be viewed as well. This is the perfect opportunity to see a number of yachts in one location.

Need tickets? Want to make an appointment to see the yacht you've been dreaming about? Give us a call -- Regency & Northrop and Johnson can make it happen!

Silver Moon-- -- easy VI sailing with Captain

noreply@blogger.com (Regency Yacht Vacations) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 11:50:00 +0000

For those that want the 'hands on' experience, try the catamaran Silver Moon! Fresh clean and ready to charter, this cat's Captain has plenty of experience as well as an easy manner when teaching the finer points of sailing a cat. Patty is happy to help guests find the best anchorages or the perfect beach for that evening 'jump up' to the local music.

Where to charter in the Caribbean

noreply@blogger.com (Regency Yacht Vacations) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:39:00 +0000

Air flights have become an important component of where to vacation in the Caribbean. Air lift has dropped to almost all the islands which limits options -- but the major islands still have good availability.

Regency suggests clients meet their charter yacht in St. Thomas for direct flights from Miami, New York, Atlanta, Charlotte and Boston. You may begin your charter either in St. Thomas or take a ferry across to the BVI to begin you trip from the heart of the BVI.

For BVI cruising all flights connect through San Juan Puerto Rico. The shuttles can book up early, but there are charter flights available which work out at the same cost for groups of 6 or more.

Another big hub is St. Maarten -- many direct flights from the US into the Dutch side of the island and direct flights from Europe into the French side. Easy cruising the Leeward Islands.

Antigua or Martinique both are good direct flight options as well with lovely areas to cruise that are a bit more off the beaten track.

Call Us to talk over what areas would best suit your group for your winter vacation.

Regency expands into yacht sales

noreply@blogger.com (Regency Yacht Vacations) — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 13:38:00 +0000

After many years of advising and guiding yacht owners into a sucessful charter business, I took stock of how many past charter clients had grown their interest in yachts into ownership.

In addition, it seemed to me that many clients were not sure how to find the right combination of yacht that appealed to them personally with one that could also offset costs by chartering successfully.

Finding that the charter & yacht brokerage worlds have gone global and that as vessels grow larger they do travel with the seasons, it was important to Regency to join forces with an international company with an impeccable reputation.

Northrop & Johnson is that group, having been founded after World War II and reliably serving clients ever since.

So don't be surprised at our shift in name & check out our newly developed website for details of yachts for purchase, charter or management services: www.nandjyachts.com

Monaco Show for luxury yachts

noreply@blogger.com (Regency Yacht Vacations) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:47:00 +0000

I just returned from viewing yachts at the Monaco Show -- glorious place, great cool weather and a huge array of luxury yachts both power and sail that are available for sale or charter. The dock was full with more than 50 additional yachts available for viewing out at anchor.

Even spending 5 days looking at yachts, I was not able to see them all, but found a few that I loved: Harle a brand new 176' Feadship with styling that reminds you of why you want to be on the water -- clean lines but you have the zen feeling that you are there to unwind -- not too formal.

Or how about the new Perini Navi Selene -- 56 meters of space that exemplifies the Italian design aesthetic & attention to detail.

These large yachts offer not just on deck Jacuzzis and plenty of water sports, but gyms and staff on call 24/7. Clients are now comfortable that with the high end satellite communications systems they can take the time to get away but still be able to conduct business easily if they choose.

Of the that is the deciding factor on picking a yacht and the new computer systems that allow you access to any movie or music on the server from any location also allows you to watch Bloomberg in the morning and download the data that you need right away.

Monaco offers early viewing for the just launched yachts from some of the top shipyards in the world -- that means we know what is new & fresh and will be available for the upcoming winter Caribbean season. Regency is dedicated to having thorough product knowledge so that you can be confident your vacation will run smoothly.

Monaco Yacht Show

noreply@blogger.com (Regency Yacht Vacations) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:27:00 +0000

The end of September is the Monaco Yacht Show where some of the most luxurious yachts in the world are viewed by brokers -- this includes mega yachts that are wither for sale or charter. Vendors and suppliers of these large yachts are also on hand to show the latest 'toys' every yacht needs from mini submarines to ultralight aircraft or the newest trends in audio visual technology.

Super yachts come at a hefty price tag, because owners are always pushing the envelope for more -- faster speeds, more luxury, even greener yachts. What can be dreamt of can be built and often you find the best in cutting edge design in the yacht world.

So if your taste runs to the unique and special ask Regency for our recommendation of the best the yacht world has to offer in power or sailing yachts to buy or charter. Plan to attend the show? Let us know & we'd be happy to meet you and show you first hand.

Planning your charter

noreply@blogger.com (Regency Yacht Vacations) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:53:00 +0000

Clients often ask how far in advance should they plan their trips and the answer is "it depends". Charters are a commodity like many other items -- if you want to charter at a highly sought after time like Christmas, New Year or Spring Break then you better plan weel in advance. Alos, if you have strict requirements of what you want -- a 60' catamaran for 8 guests that is no more than 4 years old that offers scuba diving as an example -- then you need to start early to get what you want. Plus the yachts that offer the best value for their target market will go quickly -- which means you better be ready to commit a minimum of 6 months in advance, but better to start a year out.

Normally in a down economy we find that you can leave it to the last minute to try & see if you can find a yacht offering a special to attract business. But the surprise of this year is the number of clients who are planning and putting down deposits for summer 2009 and winter 2010 NOW.

The total number of charter yachts has dropped in recent years, so that we now recommend trying to make plans early so that you have the yacht & crew you want for the dates you want.

That doesn't mean that you can't take a spur of the monet charter -- if you can be a bit flexible in your dates to take advantage of a break in the schedule of a popular yacht.

Keep in mind that the number of yachts available in popular styles -- newer catamarans, affordable power yachts or yachts that offer scuba diving are relatively limited and the best broker in the world can't conjure up more!

Happy Labor Day -- summer is over & fall begins -- this marks the planning time for many clients for their winter Caribbean yacht charter. A number of repeat guests have called over the long weekend, and have been disappointed to find that yachts that can accommodate 8 to 12 guests have been booked already for their December holidays.

Still available are the larger and more expensive mega yachts that often have a ten to fourteen day minimum as well as the yachts that cater to two to six guests.

However we have clients who are starting to plan now for their December 2009 charters if they have a large family group and want a great yacht with experienced crew.

Now is the best time to double check your children's spring break dates & plan the family trip to the islands -- to get a great yacht at a good price.

Smaller groups have the freedom to wait and make their plans more spur of the moment. However, yachts with the best rates may already be committed.

Start making your plans now for that well deserved break in the winter weather!

Virgin Islands Value

noreply@blogger.com (Regency Yacht Vacations) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:19:00 +0000

What do the US & British Virgin Islands have to offer charter guests? Protected waters with numerous islands so that seas are calmer & you are never out of sight of lane. But this advantage draws the largest number of yachts so you have a wide variety of excellent yachts and crews to choose from. There are some great areas that are more off the beaten track, but you might only have one or two options of a catamaran for six as an example.

The great benefit of the larger fleet of charter yachts -- power or sail, mono hull or catamaran, mid range or mega yacht -- is that that much competition keeps the rates lower than you will find in other parts of the world. Plus the Virgin Islands are the only location to offer truly inclusive yachts got charter -- they offer the best value and the opportunity to budget your vacation plans in advance.

Now is the time to plan your winter holiday! Try the VI for the best selection and prices as well as a wonderful place to visit and explore.

Plan for the December holidays NOW!

noreply@blogger.com (Regency Yacht Vacations) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:06:00 +0000

Now is the time to be making plans for the Christmas & New Year time period to find the best mega yachts so your family has the quality time you want. This year, consider Argyll, a luxury yacht that is one of the few yachts that is handicapped accessible. Her owner did not want to give up time on board a yacht with aging and so this yacht has wider boarding equipment and elevator between levels to make access easy.

Traditional styling and first class condition make her a superb choice for a Caribbean holiday. Argyll's rate is $150,000 a week plus expenses, there is a two week minimum over the December holiday period.
